The Remains of the Late T. A. Harrison
Laid to Rest.
IMPOSING FUNERAL RITES.
The Casket Buried Beneath Flowers
The Solemn Burial
Exercises.

The funeral of the late T. A. Harri-
son took place yesterday afternoon at
his late residence, corner of Eighth
street and Fourth avenue south. An
hour before the services began the spa
cious house was crowded, both up stairs
and down, with people, most of whom
were old friends of the deceased. The
services were conducted under the di-
rection of Rev. ]. F. Chatfee. ID. D., who
was an old and intimate friend of Mr..
Harrison, and consisted of singing by q
volunteer choir, reading of the ninety
first psalm by Rev. j. w. Wag-
ner, ID. d., prayer by DR.. r. N.
McKaig, the pastor of the Hennepin
Avenue NJ. L. church, a short sermon
by DR.. Bridgeman, president of Ham
line college, and historical view of the
life of the deceased by Rev. j. F. Chat
fee. DR.. Chaffee Sp Oke of the numer-
Gus gifts which had been made by Mr..
Harrison TO the different M. E. churches
in this city, which he said footed up to
about $4,000, besides gifts to Hamline
college amounting to $4,000 and private
gifts amounting to more than these to-
gether; and yet he gave these in
such quiet and unaSSuming
manner that the speaker had heard per-
sons speak of the deceased as unchar-
liable. He then referred to his actions in
regard to the liquidation of the debts of
the old State National bank, with which
the deceased had become connected
through taking some of the stock of the
bank i'll payment for a loan of money,
and who, when he realized the weak
condition of the bank, paid its creditors
in full. although it took a large part of
his fortune, which it had taken a life
he was not responsible for the debts of
the bank.
The funeral arrangements were di-
rected by n. +. Warner IL Co. and the
cortege was the largest ever seen in this
city. The caSket was of Spanish red
cedar. lined with white satin and COW
cred with black silk plush, with eXten-
sion handles to match, and was a fac
Simile of the one in which Samuel j.
Tilden was buried. On the silver plate
was inscribed:

The floral decorations were very fine.
A floral pillow. composed largely of
Marechal Mel roses, with the words

senting an arched gateway, with the

plOyeS of the Security bank, of which

POLITICS AND GRAIN.

Some months ago the GLOBE printed
A series of articles detailing the methods
employed in the inspection and weigh
ing of wheat at Minneapolis. While it
was everywhere conceded the chief dep
uty inspector at this point was COM
petent man, with a wide experience in
handling wheat, the bungling work
done was subject of complaint every
where, and resulted, finally, in session
OF the commissioners. About the same
state of affairs existed in the weighing
department, and the complaints in that
direction were equally numerous and
well founded. The commissioners
heard and saw, but did nothing worth
mentioning. The GLOBE at that time
pointed out the difficulty, but while the
commissioners admitted, in private, or
in their own councils, that this infOrma-
ton was correct. they secuted it in pub
lie. The difficulty was, is now, but
should no longer be, that the business
of inspectors and weighers is carried
on by politicians instead of experts.
The Minneapolis chamber of commerce
recognized this in its decision on Satur-
day, and its report vindicates the GLOBE.
How can the chief inspector insure re-
liable and accurate work when his
subordinates are not responsible to him?
He does not appoint them, but they are
selected because of previous pol itical
service. and they are above his reproof
OF discipline. How can the weighmas-
ter secure the best results in his depart
ment, where the state OF affairs is the
same? 1t was only recently that he re-
moved man for incompetency, but the
latter had worked hard for a certain
state official and the board promptly re-
instated him, over the weighmaster's
head. What authority or control can an
official have or maintain over force of
deputies under circumstances like
these?
When the GLOBE first pointed out
these wrongs, the thick-and-thin
partisan sheets roared in angry chorus,
but now that the chamber has endorsed
the GLOBE, what will the howlers do?

AFAMHIAR EXPERIENCE.

McCafferty changed his room the
the other day. The first night he was
booked for the new boudoir he started
home at midnight and found on reach
ing the block he had lost the number.
Nothing daunted and seeing light in
house he entered. After throwing over
a chair or two and espying a couple
sleeping in a room in front of him, he
yelled out: ''Is this Murphy's?" For
reply he got boot on the top of his
head and an emphatic order to ''git out
for numbering marauder." McCaf-
ferty beat a haSty retreat, only to fall
into the embraces of a neighbOring bull
dog. He next saw another house with
light. and, as luck would have it, this
was his future home, but when you en-
tered the door there were three steps
down, and, in the dark, McCafferty
Topped head over heels. Recovering
himself he fed up stairs, but first in
vaded the privacy of a maiden's cham
ber, who wildly shrieked, "You nasty
thing" Finally the gallant Mac reached
his own chamber and retired to rest, too
tired to speak.

by friend who had worked by his side
in saw mill in Anoka, where he had
had the leg taken off. He had spent the
war period in Canada, but found the

vice. The q. A. r. men failed to find

SAVING THE HEATHEN.
is There Any Hope of Probation
After Death?

Rev. FL. NJ. Simmons sermon was oc-
casioned by the recent meeting of the
American board at Springfield and it's
failure to offer the heather any hope of
probation after death.
He said the board was much censured for
this, but ought not to be. It's business is to
obey the churches that contribute the money
for its missions. and the duty of the churches
is TO teach the doctrine of damnation if they
believe it. And all those who condemn this
doctrine must still commend the self sacrific-
ing spirit of the churches in teaching it and
the civilizing influences which they often
send with it. We must also commend the
churches for teaching the doctrine in so
much milder form than in the last century
They seldom teach infant damnation to-day
Still less do they teach, as jonathan Ed
wards did, that saints will rejoice
at the sentence of sinners to eternal
torments. They even begin to
feel that such torments will lie
unjust IN the case of the heathen They be-
gin to show this charity not only TO the
heather who have never heard the church
theology, but even to The more sinful people,
who have heard it all their lives. but will not
believe 1t. Probably few of our Christian

THE GLOBE IN MINNEAPOLIS.

Inc SUNDAY GLOBE is the paper Min
neapolis wants. Though every issue of
the paper is in great demand by the in
telligent and discriminating people of
the Flour City, the special edition pre-
pared for their Sunday delectation has
phenomenal sale, and the statement is
made with pardOnable qualification that
Its circulation exceeds that of any other
publication offered ON the streets of
Minneapolis. There are more SUNDAY
GLOBES bought and paid for and read
In Minneapolis than any other paper.
Its individual sales, by newsboys and
over the counters Ofthe hotels and news
depots are equal to the combined sales
of the other morning papers. On Wash
lngton, Nicollet and Hennepin avenues,
within the crowded business district,
newsboyS sell twice as many GLOBES on
Sunday mornings as any other paper,
local or foreign. This is not only the
belief of the GLOBE itself, but is in
dorsed by the newSboys, who are nearly
unanimous III saying the SUNDAY
GLOBE is the paper most eagerly sought
and which meets the readiest sale.
Ihe onward course of the GLOBE III
Minneapolis has been marked by no
particular boom, but has been steady
and regular. From the first week of
its publication under the present man
agement the number disposed of has in
creased week by week without slip
or halt, and yesterday reached its high
est figure, every copy being disposed of
before o'clock in the morning, with
the demand still unsatiSfied. A COM
parison of the GLOBE with any of the
other papers will show there is nothing
remarkable in this fact. That it was
incomparably the best paper was ad-
mitted on every side, and the public is
not slow in finding and demanding the
best. At the present rate of increase
the SUNDAY GLOBE will in a year have
In Minneapolis double the circulation of
all other Sunday papers combined.
